Chapter 147 This lineup isn't just luxurious, it's terrifying.

About Xu Zhe.

Lin Rui's initial idea was to cast the character Wang Xiaohu.

Considering that Xu Zhe is not from a performing arts background, his acting skills do have some shortcomings.

Giving Xu Zhe a supporting role with limited screen time is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

However, the two proposals Chen Bin presented led Lin Rui to overturn all his previous assumptions.

Lin Rui did indeed come up with a list, which included actors from the three states of Xia, Yue, and Wan.

However, he still asked Chen Bin for his opinion.

After all, this thing is a humanoid, highly intelligent computer.

At first, Chen Bin did not offer any advice, but instead asked Lin Rui what kind of actors he thought could play these roles well.

Without much thought, Lin Rui listed out all the characters' personalities from the original "Chinese Paladin" series.

In less than thirty seconds, Chen Bin had come up with two actor lists.

The first one was very similar to Lin Rui's initial idea.

The second one surprised Lin Rui.

Because of this list, Guang Tianrui could practically devour the entire thing.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of Xu Zhe?"

Lin Rui asked the question seemingly casually.

Zhang Qingsheng's heart skipped a beat.

He had no objection to Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui playing important roles.

Both of them are established superstars, and both rose to fame through their acting skills.

Its strength and influence are beyond question!

From a director's perspective, the only concern with these two is finding the right people; the only concern is whether they are even capable of acting.

He had previously worried that Lin Rui was practicing nepotism and was bringing in all sorts of random actors.

But seeing that Lin Rui had arranged for Ye Yinhui and Xu Huijing to come in, he felt that Lin Rui should know what was important and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, what I feared most came to pass!

Xu Zhe and Lin Rui were roommates in the same dormitory, a fact he had heard about at the company.

If it were just a minor role to go through the motions, Zhang Qingsheng would have fulfilled Lin Rui's wish.

Judging from this situation, it's definitely not as simple as just assigning a minor role.

The fact that at least one newcomer could be here is itself quite strange.

Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui didn't have as many thoughts as Zhang Qingsheng.

If you really have an idea, the fact that they're not the male or female lead is enough to make a point.

What are their identities?

It's either the second female lead or the male supporting character, is that even acceptable?

Their silence doesn't mean they don't care.

I just thought that since it was our first time working with Fusheng, we should be generous and show our sincerity.

Moreover, the quality of this drama remains to be seen.

If the response is lukewarm, those who didn't play the lead roles will naturally face less negative impact.

Therefore, they pretended not to care, but simply took the storyboard drawings from Li Wenbin and began to understand their roles.

"Director Zhang, just say what you have to say, don't hold back."

Lin Rui never went to see Zhang Qingsheng from beginning to end.

But among the people in the room, there was an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Then I'll tell you."

Zhang Qingsheng gritted his teeth, upholding his responsibility for the quality of his work, and even if Lin Rui didn't want to hear what he was about to say, he would still say it.

“His acting skills are not good. When we were filming the music video for ‘Far Away’, I heard Director Zhang from the company complain more than once that Xu Zhe’s professional skills were lacking.”

"Of course, I didn't mean to belittle anyone."

"But Xu Zhe's major is not relevant to his profession, and his acting skills are also insufficient, that's a fact."

"I think he should focus more on music."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhe's face turned somewhat pale, but he did not utter a word in rebuttal.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that Lin Rui was trying to give him more screen time, and he was quite touched.

However, he also understood that the fantasy drama Lin Rui was about to film would definitely be a big production.

Xu Zhe is well aware of his own limitations, and it is already quite an achievement for him to make a cameo appearance in the music video.

He does seem to lack the energy to act.

Even though he longed to act in a TV series.

But he also understood one principle.

A person should know their own limitations.

"Lin Rui, actually I..."

He didn't want to put Lin Rui in a difficult position, and was about to speak when Lin Rui waved his hand to interrupt him.

"I'm asking you, would you like to be in this movie?"

Zhang Qingsheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but Zhou Rongze raised his hand to stop him.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingsheng could only sigh inwardly and say no more.

"think."

"The next month will be very tough for you."

"As long as you don't die, you won't suffer."

"Then you'll play the second male lead, Tang Yu."

The second male lead?

Zhang Qingsheng was taken aback.

Holy crap!
